sort
java.util.Map sort(java.lang.Class type,
java.util.Map nameMap)
Sort the properties of a bean type. The method will be called with the class type
that contains all the properties and a Map that retains the order in which the
elements have been added. The sequence in which elements are returned by an iterator
defines the processing order of the properties. An implementation may create a
different Map with similar semantic, add all elements of the original map and return
the new one.
